Abstract

NiCl2· 6H2O has been proven to be an effective catalyst for the coupling of amines with aryl iodides without ligand under solvent-free conditions employing microwave irradiation. Reactions cleanly result in coupled products in a short reaction time. The catalyst, being heterogeneous, is recovered by filtration and is recyclable.
